November is coming

How many of us here are going to vote for PotUS/Senators/Reps who help bring this surveillance abomination to life?

Hes implying one candidate will spy on us more than the other, however i fail to see that changing, with homeland security in one ear, the cia/fbi/nsa in the other, surveillance is a way of life. ( that we all have allowed to happen) Im sure the president is the one who legislated the installation of traffic cameras, and random cameras around my city.

Most of the politicians responsible for the original AT&T immunity bill are still in office.

Will you vote for any of them?

I have to add:
The Media+Press are perhaps the most responsible.
They've either remained silent or colluded with Gov to insure there's been no meaningful coverage.

Well, that means you can't vote for Republicans or Democrats, so you have to vote for independents.

Came into being under the Bush Administration, continued by the Obama administration, and supported by Romney.

The only people who have been against it are some Democrats.

There's no choice here ATM for anyone who would curtail this.

I think people need to understand that most the media is no longer what it once was. It's all beholden to large corporate interests and the status quo, often reporting PR from their owners and masters and aligned with Government friends to keep their profit interests safe and sound.

I've voted conservative/Republican most of my life.

However I'll vote for anyone who stands up for our privacy in a way that matters.

Senators who voted to remove telecom immunity, but ended up voting for bill with telecom immunity intact: Baucus (D-MT), Casey (D-PA), Obama (D-IL), Whitehouse (D-RI)

I'd be curious to see who was responsible for the original AT&T immunity bill and the evidence to back up that claim.

Not quite, many were.

The Liberal block of Democrats was fairly solid in opposition and continues to be the opposition to this.

Both of mine from Florida voted for it.

Nelson was on a very short list of FL-D I supported.
As FL's Insurance Commissioner, he was sharp and very pro Floridian. As Senator, he made other choices.

*sigh* It's another choiceless election year.

I have a very similar problem.

None of the parties represent my values, it's a mix. I'm always having to do the lesser of two evils, or which one sucks more.

I strongly identify with several "Conservative" ideals and several "Liberal" ones so I'm always pretty screwed when it comes to voting... LOL

But most of them were still spinning it as a telco tapping issue instead of an internet data dump.

It absolutely killed me to have to admit which Senators were honest about the issue.

That is true of just about everyone. However, you still have way to many lazy morons that will vote party line instead of doing their homework and voting for the ones that actually are more in line with their values.
